But after returning to the UK, the former couple sparked split rumours and then in September they confirmed they had gone their separate ways for good.

Despite not being together anymore, the star wishes her nothing but the best.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun at the Pride of Britain Awards last night, Josh said: "Mimii is just as busy as I am.

"I'm sure she's doing well whatever she is doing.

Josh is keen to focus on his career after winning Love Island 11, but isn't opposed to finding love again.

The former semi-professional footballer wants to let people know about him because there is a lot more to what you saw on Love Island.

Josh has big plans for the future, telling us: "I've got so many ideas. I have to speak all of them out at the same time, but it's impossible!

"You're going to see me in the acting space, the entertainment space, and fashion, I think that's one of the things I'm leading with.

"I've got a big passion for fashion.

"You'll definitely see me in that space.

"Eventually you'll see me in the acting and entertainment industry for sure."

However he wouldn't give much away when asked about if he landed any roles.

Josh entered the Love Island villa earlier this year on day 35 alongside Reuben Collins.

The pair picked Jessy Potts, Uma Jammeh and Mimii to go on a date with them.

Josh ended sweeping Mimii off her feet, after her sticky romance with Ayo Odukoya.

Although the show wrapped up two months ago, he's managed to keep in touch with some of his former islanders.

Josh said: "Yeah we catch up all the time, everyone is so busy so it's hard but when we see each other at events like this it's nice to catch up!"
